No single application has been as widely adopted by as wide a number of people for such a wide range of uses as the spreadsheet. Love them or hate them, but the spreadsheet metaphor is at once highly useful, highly adaptable, and highly usable requiring minimal support to extract needed value.
The spreadsheet, with all its questionable glory, is here to stay. From the first Visicalc to Excel 2300 I don't think we'll see the end of spreadsheets for a long time coming.
